Underneath this word there are the words "WIRELESS & NETWORKS." This is the section we want to be in because we want this option here.

We can see it says "WiFi" located here. Press down on this section. It will take us to the WiFi menu. It doesn't matter if we are connected to WiFi right now if we are connected to WiFi network we can still edit these options. We are connected but if not, don't worry about it.

We are looking for this option that says "Keep WiFi on during sleep." What it's got selected is "Always." "Always," whenever the HTC One M8 is asleep, the WiFi will still be connected.

We will still be able to receive Notifications and we'll still have our apps working. But maybe we want to turn these off, especially if we aren't using the HTC One M8. We might want to save battery. But also we may just like to receive Notifications when we actually look at the phone and when we actually turn it on and activate it. Then we will receive our Notifications because WiFi will turn back on again. That means when the phone is asleep we won't be disturbed by Notifications. If we want to change this, just press down on this section.

We have "Always," which is currently selected. We can see the green circle that is selected on the right-hand side of the screen. The other options are "Only when plugged in," and "Never" and this "increases data usage." We can choose the option that's right. If we want to, just press down on any one of the sections.
